Rotring 1904-256 Rapid Pro Mechanical Pencil 0.7mm Silver [Official Japanese Product]

The pencil arrived a day earlier than expected. It writes really smooth and looks good as the whole pencil is metallic black. The pencil wasn't as heavy as I thought (I would have preferred heavier), but it still had a decent weight in my hand.

安定感のある書き心地で、とても満足しています。重みがあるので好みは分かれるかもしれませんが、長く使える一本です。

メタル、非常にピカピカで、カッコいい。この光具合は日本製では無い、というか、そこまで光らせないと思える。 表現できないほど、カッコいい、ということです！！

ステッドラー、七星、と様々な2mm芯ホルダーを利用しましたが、これがダントツで良いです。 芯削り器を利用する時、どうしても芯を長めに出して削る必要があるのですが、削った後に少し戻す動作がとてもスムーズに行えます。 ノックを押しっぱなしにするのは、他商品も同じなのですが、真の戻りと送り出しのスムーズ加減はこの商品がピカイチです。 重心も良く、重さで疲れるかと思ったのですが気になりませんでした。 私は大丈夫ですが、人によっては握り部分のギザギザが痛いと感じるかもしれません。

使いやすいです。重宝してます。

めっちゃ書きやすいくて高級感がありまくりです。書いてると疲れるかなと思っていたが低重心で持ちやすいので疲れにくいです

ノック部分が硬く親指にストレスを感じる もう少しノックの頭部分大きくして欲しい

黒にはない美しさあり！

Disappointed with the pencil. It feels well crafted and has a nice weight to it but there is too much play in the thread which results in the top part being able to move slightly when writing, so it actually ends up feeling pretty flimsy despite the weight. Disappointed as I thought this was going to be worth the money I spent but I wouldn't recommend

En mycket skön kvalitetspenna med härligt grepp!

I have a LOT of mechanical pencils and lead holders of various brands and sizes, and this is one of my favorite brands. Yes, they are expensive, but they make nice pencils. this lead holder has a very nice, heavy feel, works smoothly, and it a joy to use. I will say that if you are used to a clutch pencil, this may not be what you expect - this lead holder advances the lead incrementally, like any click-advance mechanical pencil of a smaller lead size. If you want an open feed so the lead can be fed out in large lengths quickly this will not be the best choice. That said, I don't find the slower advance a problem, even when sharpening. To point the lead, you can do one of two things: advance the lead by clicking a number of times, point the lead, then hold the advance down while slipping the lead back into the barrel to the desired length, or you can hold the advance in while slipping the lead out of the barrel, point it, and then slip it back in. If you try to point the lead using a pointer without advancing the lead a few inches it won't point - the lead won't be able to reach the blade or cutter threads. For me, this is no problem - I'm very happy to trade the open clutch for a much nicer tool to draw with. There is a pointer in the cap as well, which does not require as much lead length as a 'trash can' style pointer and I find it works quite well. There is a small plastic insert in the cap that prevents the 'lead' shavings from going into the barrel body, so be sure to gently tap out the shavings after pointing or you may have fine dust occasionally falling from the cap. The convenience of having a pointer built-in like that is quite nice if you travel or work in the field. Pros: Solid construction, good hand feel, sturdy clip, built-in pointer, controllable advance, appearance. Cons: Cost (this costs a lot more than many of the plastic-body alternatives)

Rotring is probably my favourite lead holder brand and this latest clutch is a welcomed addition to my growing collection. Nice weight, sturdy and I love the action for lead advancement. I use it mainly for sketching/drawing with some note taking on the side.

I have used lots of pentel and staedler pencils before but ROTRING RAPID PRO/ROTRING 600 IS THE BEST and this statement is gonna remain universal untill the end of time. [ Proud to exaggerate ] ------------------------------------------------------------ FINAL VERDICT ✅The best mechanical pencil (tried pentel, lamy, staedtler and many others). ✅SUPER STURDY and you can pass this one to next generation after your last breath. ✅Very expensive but considering it will last lifetime i would rate 4/5 in VALUE FOR MONEY. 🙏🙏Please press the helpful button if so and follow my Amazon profile🙏🙏 ------------------------------------------------------------ DESIGN AND BUILD 👍Although the Rotring brand is now owned by some japanese brand still the german aesthetics are no less in this ALL BRASS METAL SUPER STURDY BUILD. 👍The metal KNURLING is THE BEST on the market.🥰 👍The retractable lead sleeve is awesome⭐ 👍Very satisfying click and about 10 clicks come out 6mm of lead. 👍The Hexagonal brass body is very comfortable to hold. 👍Very sturdy pocket clip. 👍Matt black colour is dope and utilitarian (more classy than silver version and three colour is durable too, it won't go out in long time. ------------------------------------------------------------ WRITING PERFORMANCE 👍👍A+++ the heavy nature of the pen helps in enhancing writing experience since you don't need to press the lead much harder since the pencil itself is sharing the job with its own weight. IT WILL MAKE YOU QUIT YOUR PARKER PEN AND ADOPT THE PENCIL WAY OF WRITING. ☺ ------------------------------------------------------------ CONS The single con of this pencil is the screws joint behind the red ring (refer my attached images) that is made of plastic, metal would have been nice but considering you don't need to unscrew it very often it would still go strong for lifetime.
